Hours to maxed Commons / Uncommons / Rares

App says I've played 74 hours, and I'm a little over halfway on both Uncommon (131/240) and Rares (138/270) [why, yes, I do have a text file keeping count, bite me, I'm anal]. But I'm mostly buying Expert packs, buying them about 3 to 1 to Advanced, but still buying some advanced to keep the Uncommons coming in (Asari Adept is going to be my last Uncommon maxed, I swear).

Probably got the Commons knocked out in a similar 15ish hours.

Umm. No idea. I don't track this stuff that scrupulously myself. Interesting to find out from others. I guess I'm a scrub data analyst.

There is going to be a huge amount of variance based on what difficulties you play on and how long your matches take (i.e. how efficient you are at farming) AND the order in which you buy packs.

Spamming Basics, then Advanced packs, is the fastest way to max Commons, then Uncommons, BUT not the best use of your credits.

Also of course if you are a dirty pay to win rich jerk noble supporter of the game and buy Andromeda points, then that will skew the numbers as well.

Everyone's numbers are going to be all over the place. I just thought it might be fun to talk about.

In the APEX app, if you have it, the time played seems to be strictly time spent in MP matches, which is how ME3MP tracked time played as well.

Where do you see Total Extractions?  Have I overlooked something in the app?

Xbox One has a game hub that tracks a load of stuff that I haven't seen tracked elsewhere, and compares it with your mates.

Dunno if the other platforms have this.

Mine is fairly similar, even down to the APEX rating. I'm missing the Asari Duelist still, but otherwise have all common and uncommons maxed, and about 70% through the rares, with about the same playtime.

So a good yard stick.

After completing basics, I bought 400k worth of 20k packs. I then realized I had gotten all the uncommon characters to around 7-8 (because there is some strong bias towards characters first?). Then I realized the uncommon weapons are trash and the mods are relatively low value compared to rare quality +dmg mods.
Since then I've only bought 50k packs. I do not regret this approach one bit. I probably will finish rares before uncommons, but I plan to just keep buying 50k packs at that point as well. Someday I'd get maddock X, and I don't really give a **** when that day comes.

I've done many solos so that greatly extended the overall time (and lessen the credits earned) but 135 hours to max all uncommon/common and 272 hours to max all rares.
